“Viberts’ commercial team provides advice on shareholder agreements, real estate financing and joint ventures and it recently advised on a proposed acquisition with complex regulatory strands. The ‘responsive' team provides ‘good value for money' and a ‘personal touch'. The key contacts are the ‘commercially astute' Christopher Scholefield and Giles Baxter, who has ‘excellent technical knowledge'”.
